SINGAPORE - Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon has given former domestic worker Parti Liyani two weeks to decide whether she wants to proceed with her application to start disciplinary proceedings against two state prosecutors who conducted her trial for theft.

"This, Mr Balchandani explained, is one of the reasons she had initially considered withdrawing the originating summons seeking an order from me directing that the matters alleged against the DPPs in question be referred to a disciplinary tribunal for investigation." The high-profile case sparked public outcry, with questions raised about the evidence-gathering process and the way in which the trial was conducted.

Represented by Mr Balchandani, she appealed against her conviction and sentence in a three-day hearing that was held in November last year and August this year.Mr Balchandani was appointed to act for her in relation to the complaint in July.
